This season, Zachary Krueger will use the RotoViz Screener Tool to evaluate player red-zone opportunity. Understanding how teams deploy their red-zone personnel, and who they give red-zone opportunities to, can offer a valuable edge over your opponents. This weekly Red Zone Report aims to give you that exact edge.
It’s hard to believe that we are nearly halfway through the fantasy season. With Week 8 quickly approaching, it’s time for yet another look at last week’s red-zone opportunities.
In the never ending quest for high-value touches, here are some Week 7 red-zone leaders that could be in line for a productive Week 8.

Leonard Fournette
After being led to believe that Ronald Jones may have secured the lead role in Tampa Bay’s backfield, Leonard Fournette made a triumphant return from injury in Week 7.
In his return against the Raiders, Fournette logged a 56% snap share to Jones’ 43% while also receiving 27% opportunity share to Jones’ 23%.
Fournette made the most of his opportunities, turning them into 15.7 PPR (RB15) and finding the end zone once.
